Husband doesn’t want to have sex with me

Hi I am 21 weeks pregnant. I really feel like having sex with my husband but my husband does not want to have sex with me because he's afraid that it could harm our baby. He doesn't understand my feelings. What should i do?

I'm not sure how to explain this in a medical way, but I believe it is safe for the baby as I also have had intercourse with the husband as early as under 16 weeks (21 weeks currently as well). It did not hurt at all. I suggest that both of u could have some readings on 'making love' during pregnancy to convince both of you. If you're still on the uncertain side, you can always refer to your O&G ☺
